Chapter 80: Between the Two
"Childe, just now Lu Jujian and we were stretching a net by the stream, but an elk with arrows broke free from the net pocket and ran towards the mountains and forests, Lu Jujian threw it with a halberd, missed, and was furious at the moment, so he chased after him......"
After receiving the report from the rangers, Mingyue learned that Nalu Jujian actually went to the depths of the mountains and forests in order to chase an injured elk, and couldn't help scolding: "This horseman, it's been an hour, and he hasn't returned, isn't he lost?" β
Looking up from the bottom, although this camp hill is not high, but because it is the royal hunting ground, so the king of Zhou is not allowed to develop hunting within dozens of miles, the green hundred-year-old trees on the mountain are dense, the road is also narrow and slippery, walk more than 100 steps inside, it is difficult to distinguish the way, the deep forest from time to time comes out some tigers, leopards and bears roar, which makes people palpitate.

That is the real deep mountain valley, usually hunting in the Qi royal family, the most experienced Yuren hunters dare not go to the depths, let alone a foreigner. Hugh said that if he encountered a fierce beast, even if he accidentally got lost in it, it would be enough for Lu Jujian to drink a pot.
Mingyue took Lu Jujian, who was honest, loyal and filial to his mother, very serious, and scolded him, but he also let Wu Dang and others follow the traces to look for him, he didn't want a warrior to be lost here.
On the other side, seeing that the prey within a few miles to the left were all dead and running, the various hunting teams finished their teams one after another, took the prey, and returned to the purple tent where the prince was built, and the prey that was still bleeding was dragged down from the wooden planks of the cart and piled up into several hills.
The princesses and nobles of the Qi country watched for a day, and the freshness of killing at the beginning was long gone, but some people felt that those prey were pitiful, and at this time, it was natural that there were people who led the captured fawns and other young beasts to offer, so that the princesses and nobles held them in their arms, and sighed for a while, according to the convention, even if the young cubs were captured, they should be released.
There are only a few girls who are overflowing with sympathy, and there are more people, and they are chattering about the men who have performed well in hunting today, some people think that Tian Hu of Anping Junfu is the bravest, and some people think that Kuang Liang is better. Others thought that Zhao Kuo was also good, thinking that he was not only handsome and handsome, but also had a "handsome posture", of course, this was what they thought after they learned that he was not an ordinary centurion, but the son of Ma Fujun.
As for Chang Anjun, his status is noble and his eloquence is not bad, but it is a pity that he cannot be both civil and military.
Most girls in this age group are always easily attracted by masculine and unrestrained things, and they are more looking forward to who can be rated as the best hunter today, and the person who gets this honor can not only get the bow and arrow horse given by the prince, but also get the hearts of many girls, and his name will also be sung in the aristocratic circle of Linzi City for a long time.
Zhao Kuo didn't know that his performance had been favored by many women, and he was anxiously waiting for Hou Sheng to count the hunts, and then the Qi State Xiangbang would judge the best hunting today. Zhao Kuo has always been competitive and wants to win this honor for Chang'anjun that he has already said and doesn't care about......
Chang Anjun doesn't care, but he cares!
When he was in Purple Mountain, very few people dared to compete with him, but today they showed their skills under the competition, and the results of hard training for more than a month were revealed, all of which made Zhao Kuo's blood tremble, and if he could win the final victory, it would be of great significance to him......
However, Hou Sheng checked the harvest of all the hunting teams, but said to Sun Jia, the king of Qi Xiang: "Xiangbang, most of the hunts of everyone are elk yellow sheep, or hares, foxes, and pheasants, and the number is almost the same, and it is difficult to distinguish ......between them."
Speaking of this, Hou Sheng glanced at the prince, and saw that the prince built a look at him, and said to Kuang Liang, he knew it in his heart, so he said with a smile: "If you win by quality, among General Kuang Liang's prey, there are two wolves and three big wild pigs, in my opinion, General Kuang Liang should be the best today!" β
As soon as these words came out, Kuang Liang suddenly held his head high, but Zhao Kuo stopped doing it, pointed to his prey and said: "Confessor, we have also hunted wolves and wild pigs!" β
Hou Sheng looked at Zhao Kuo's prey critically, and said with a smile: "It's a pity, Kuozi, your wild pig is smaller than what General Kuang has obtained, and this wolf is ...... It's female! β
This controversy naturally reached the ears of the princesses and nobles on the high platform, and immediately caused a burst of discussion, and the naΓ―ve Tian Rui frowned, and said in a low voice: "The intention of the prince and the confessor to favor Kuang Liang is too obvious......
Tian Jia, the daughter of the smart An Pingjun, was not surprised, and turned her head and said: "According to the convention, the hunting of the Qi people is naturally biased towards the Qi people themselves, if outsiders have the upper hand, the soldiers of the Qi people will have no face to see people." β
She sighed: "It would be nice if this kind of competition in the hunting ground could be put on the territory and the national interests. β
Tian Rui pursed her lips, and for a while, she felt a little sorry for the son of Ma Fujun.
β¦β¦
On the other hand, although Zhao Kuo was still not convinced, the result had already been decided, and Qi Xiang didn't say anything, he nodded, and reported the matter to the prince.
Seeing that the dust settled, Kuang Liang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his face changed from a face like water to a smug face, he walked in front of Zhao Kuo, and deliberately said: "Kuanzi is really shameful and almost brave, not long ago, he could not stabilize the barracks, causing some soldiers to flee, but today he can prohibit and order, so that the soldiers use their lives and hunt a lot of wild beasts." It's a pity, it's still a little worse, and today Kuang Liang will admit it, hahaha! β
The appearance of this villain is really hateful, Zhao Kuo was suddenly furious, and almost rushed over and grabbed Kuang Liang's shirt, but Mingyue grabbed him from behind and shook his head at him.
"Today, I can see that the soldiers commanding the soldiers are like armies, which is the biggest hunt, but it is just a little bit of a good place and people, a little false name, don't care."
Having said that, Mingyue knew that according to Zhao Kuo's hunting method, if he wasn't very familiar with the local terrain, if it wasn't for the Qi people's intention to favor Kuang Liang, he would definitely be able to come out on top.
"I really don't care about this, the bravery on the hunting ground can't prove anything, it's far worse than seeing the truth on the battlefield."
Having said that, looking at the unwillingness in Zhao Kuo's eyes and Kuang Liang's show-off color, Mingyue had another evil fire in her heart......
Everyone under Mingyue's command also breathed a sigh of relief, they were Zhao people, and they also wanted to prove the benefits of Hufu cavalry and archery and get honor for the lord. At this moment, I couldn't help but be secretly annoyed and regretful, thinking that I would focus a little more when hunting, try my best, and get more prey with enough weight.
But to no avail, the slightly chubby Prince Jian had already stood up.
Chang Anjun and Zhao Kuo had resentment but helplessness in their hearts, which made Tian Jian extremely happy. Who let his father and Dr. Ermine praise Zhao Guang Xianming in front of him all day long? However, a hostage of Zhao State, his life is in the hands of Qi people, as long as he is the prince of Qi State, he can make him suffer at any time!
According to what Teng Geng taught him, Prince Jian picked up the gorgeous carved and gilded hunting bow from Hou Sheng's hand, and shook his head and read: "Tong Gong is a sword, and it is said that it is carried out." I have a guest, and the center is happy. The bells and drums are set up, one facing the right...... General Kuang, you have this archery skill, and you can be the right of the prince's car. β
"This is the honor of the minister."
As soon as he sang and harmonized, Prince Jian was about to give Kuang Liang the hunting bow, and let him hold the bow to the princesses and nobles on the high platform to shout to win their sachets and favors, but at this moment, there was a whistling on the hunting ground.
"Wait!"
The sound was loud and pierced the air, and everyone looked back, but they saw a hundred paces away, a group of people running briskly, a total of four people, carrying a tree trunk, and something was tied to the trunk, and it was not very clear to see, and it was shaking in the run.
When they ran closer, everyone gasped, and it turned out that what those people were carrying was a big colorful leopard, with a long tail, and its body was more than a foot long!
Before and after he came, he put the corpse of the leopard on the ground, and a warrior covered in blood and tattered clothes and leather armor stepped forward a few steps, he wiped the stains on his face with his hand, knelt down on one knee in front of Chang'an Jun, and said: "Lord, the minister is too late to come back!" β
At this moment, twilight has arrived, and the sunset is reflected on the face of this strong man, which is particularly dazzling. Mingyue put away her surprised smile and walked over to help him up.
This person is the Handan ranger who is loyal to Chang'an Jun, Lu Jujian!
